NEVER ignore teeth problems!

^ It really doesnt go away! I got a big fat molar removed last week and only now am i chewing on my right side, albeit tentatively! Any pain you have get it sorted right away.

Glad you are on the road to recovery, teeth problems can be miserable. When I had mine pulled I even ate some kinds of baby food for a couple of days. The fruit kind isnt too bad but the meat and veg kind tastes like puppy poop.

Yeah i know, my dentist told me i would be eating as mormal "within 2 days", dont think so! The 7 days after getting the tooth pulled is a very delicate process so i kept to cereal and yoghurts for a few days just to aid the healing and now im thankfully back to chocolate and crisps ha! Its funny though, i should have gone to the dentist years ago but the second i got a bit of pain i was down in a shot.

It takes longer than 2 days to get back to normal, more like about a week. At least it did for me but I had all of my uppers pulled all at once. About a week after I got my dentures and it took a long, long, time to get used to them. After about a month or so I could eat almost anything I ate before. The only thing I had trouble with is apples, but I learned how to manage even them.
